Teague makes 6 appearances for Hogs

Former Bartlesville High School mound maestro James Teague continues to make some sweet music during his freshman year in the nationally-ranked University of Arkansas baseball program.

Teague has now made six appearances — including one start — for the No. 24 Razorbacks (21-14).

Teague (1-0) has recorded eight strikeouts — and only two walks — in nine innings of work, with a 5.00 earned run average. The hard-throwing righty has yet to toss a wild pitch and has hit only one batter with a pitch.

Paige Wilson

During her four years as a starter for the Bartlesville High School varsity girls basketball program, Paige Wilson spearheaded a major U-turn in fortunes.

This past season, she continued her ability to help boost hoops teams, playing in all 31 games and averaging 7.4 points for the Drury (Mo.) University Lady Panthers (27-4).

Wilson — a 2013 Bartlesville High graduate — averaged nearly 22 minutes per game, buried 37 three-pointers (second-most on the team) and dished out more than two assists per game during a stellar rookie campaign.

She also made 15 steals and pulled down 1.8 rebounds per game.

The Lady Panthers powered deep into the postseason, advancing to the NCAA Division II Elite Eight, before losing to Bentley, 74-66.

In the loss to Bentley, Wilson scored 10 points and handed out three assists, while playing 15 minutes.

While at Bartlesville, Wilson led Bartlesville’s revival from a squad that struggled her first two years to win five games, to a state powerhouse that registered 17 wins her junior season (2011-12) and 20 her senior campaign (2012-13).

Devin Randall

During his Bartlesville High School track career, Devin Randall was practically unbeatable in the shot put and discus.

He’s translated his talent well to the college level, for the University of Arkansas.

Last week, Randall registered a career-best 170-feet-1-inch in the discus throw, at the Arkansas Spring Invitational. The mark was good enough to earn him third place in the meet.

At the same meet, Randall recorded his fourth-ever top shot put distance (51-9), to come in ninth.

He established his best shot put mark at last year’s Arkansas-Oregon duel, snapping off a distance of 53-11, to win the meet title.

Randall’s top hammer throw distanced is 146-10, which earned him fourth place at the 2013 Arkansas-Oregon dual.

In addition to his track accomplishments at Bartlesville, Randall also was a three-year starter on the Bruin football team; he played a key role at defensive end to help lead the Bruins to the quarterfinals of the 2009 Class 6A playoffs.

Andrew Rodgers

Despite his status as a true freshman, former Copan High School running legend Andrew Rodgers is forging a memorable season for the Pittsburg (Kan.) State track and field program.

Rodgers — who won several Class A state gold medals, along with a cross country championship — finished third in the 1500m run, at the PSU Invitational, held last month. He ran the slightly-less-than-mile run in 4:03.37.

At the same meet, Rodgers finished second overall in the 800m (half-mile) run (1:57.08).

His second-best time in the 1500m run is 4:04.77, set last week at an away meet, for 10th place.

In addition to his blistering prep career as a runner, Rodgers also displayed true grit by sticking it out in an under-manned football program and a 2012-13 basketball team that went winless.
